The band consists of guitarist and vocalist KW and drummer and vocalist Vic, a couple who both identify as queer and make music from a progressive activist perspective.[3] In addition to their musical career, they operate the Coven Plant Based Marketplace, a vegan food store in Hamilton, and KW is part owner of a tattoo shop, Sleepy Bones.[1]
